Tulip Foundation published the Code of Good Impact Practices, developed by Inspiring Impact Programme. The very essence of existence of civil organisations is the change they work for. Associations, foundations, clubs, charity organisations, social enterprises are created with a defined goal. The social impact includes the effects for direct and indirect beneficiaries of project or the activities of an organisation, its team, other organisations, policies, practices, legislation.

The Code describes the cycle of impact practices and the core principles with a short explanation of their importance and ideas about how they could be applied in practice. The cycle and the principles are valid for all kinds of non-for-profit organisations.

Impact practice is the activities that an organisation delivers to focus on its impact – defining the desired impact, planning how to measure it, collecting information, learning from the findings, communication it and making conclusions.
